Local Marketing Manager

Position Summary

This is a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial, relationship-driven leader to help grow the sales, brand awareness, and community impact of a brand-new Chick-fil-A restaurant.

As the Marketing & Community Manager, you'll work directly alongside the local Chick-fil-A Owner/Operator to help launch the new Chick-fil-A coming to Stillwater, Minnesota. You'll establish Chick-fil-A as a trusted and valued part of the community by building relationships with local schools, businesses, churches, nonprofits, and community leaders while creating marketing initiatives that drive sales and strengthen our brand.

This isn't a desk job. It's a people job. You'll spend as much time in the community as you do in the restaurant, building relationships that help Stillwater know, trust, and love Chick-fil-A.

We're looking for someone who naturally sees opportunities where others see obstacles—someone who enjoys meeting new people, connecting others, organizing events, and turning ideas into action. Rather than waiting for direction, you'll take ownership, identify ways to grow our business, and help create meaningful experiences that make people excited to support Chick-fil-A.

At Chick-fil-A, we believe the best marketing is caring for people. Whether partnering with local organizations, coordinating community events, or finding creative ways to serve our neighbors, you'll play a key role in helping our restaurant become a place that people know, trust, and love.

Launching a brand-new Chick-fil-A is a rare opportunity. If you're excited about helping build something from the ground up while making a lasting impact in the Stillwater community, we'd love to hear from you.
